Chapter 50 Trying to manipulate him? Is she qualified?
On the other side—
When Jiang Shiyuan called Xie Jinghuai, the man was at the hospital, reviewing documents while having dinner with Lin Zhixin.
"Brother Jinghuai, your phone keeps vibrating. Is it an important call?"
Lin Zhixin asked softly, "Is it really okay if I don't answer?"
Xie Jinghuai lowered his eyes, coldly glancing at the name "Jiang Shiyuan" on the screen.
"It's nothing, it's insignificant." He turned his phone face down, out of sight, out of mind.
Yesterday, he used Tongtong's school activities as an excuse not to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with her to get a divorce.
They called in like they were on the verge of a fire today. What could it be? They just wanted him to get a divorce!
His attitude was clear: he would never leave. Yet she was so persistent, so eager to find that young master surnamed Ye.
She walked the blisters on her feet herself; she chose the path of no return by marrying him. Even if he cheats, it has to be him who cheats; even if they divorce, it has to be him who initiates it.
In this marriage, he was the dominant one who controlled everything.
Is Jiang Shiyuan trying to manipulate him?
Is she qualified?
...
Upon arrival at the hospital, the elderly woman was quickly taken into the emergency room.
Jiang Shiyuan's clothes, soaked to the bone, were still dripping wet, and her dark hair clung to her pale cheeks. Her body was alternating between hot and cold, and she could hardly stand up.
But she stayed close by, pressing her hands together against her frozen, purple lips, praying that her grandmother would be out of danger.
Aunt Feng ran over with red and swollen eyes, "Young Madam! I've already called Madam, and she's contacted the eldest young master, the second young lady, and the second son-in-law. They're all rushing to the hospital! They're almost downstairs!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful eyes darkened, and she said in a low voice:
"Aunt Feng, they're almost here anyway, so I'll be going now."
Aunt Feng exclaimed in surprise, "Young Madam, why are you leaving? You were a great hero who saved the Old Madam!"
Jiang Shiyuan knew all too well that this credit wasn't so easy to claim, and she didn't want to face the Xie mother and daughter, much less Xie Jinghuai, which would only cause more trouble.
"Don't say that I saved your grandma. And don't mention that I came to the hospital."
Aunt Feng was completely puzzled.
Over the years, the young mistress has been disliked in the Xie family. Apart from the old lady who dotes on her, no one pays her any attention. Now is such a perfect opportunity to make her presence felt and to gain the eldest young master's favor. Why should she hide it?
However, recently, the relationship between the young mistress and the eldest son has indeed become increasingly delicate.
In the past, whenever the young master was mentioned, the young mistress's cheeks would turn as red as peach blossoms, and her almond-shaped eyes would sparkle with tender affection.
But now...
She was distant, indifferent, and even wanted to stay far away whenever she heard that the young master was coming.
"Young Madam, are you still angry with the eldest young master? Forgive my bluntness, but every couple has their disagreements..."
"Grandma's sudden fainting could be due to a recurrence of a pre-existing condition, or it could be a stroke or something similar. We must not take it lightly. Aunt Feng, please ask the doctor about Grandma's condition carefully later. I'll be going now."
After saying that, Jiang Shiyuan left quickly, as if she was afraid of running into the Xie family.
...
After all the commotion, Jiang Shiyuan got home, and the cold wind dried her wet clothes.
She forced herself to take a shower, curled up in bed, but all she could feel was darkness before her eyes and a dizzying headache.
I slept haphazardly all night, and when I took my temperature in the morning, it was 38 degrees Celsius.
Jiang Shiyuan took the fever reducer and fell into a deep sleep again.
In her dream, she returned to the day her mother died, to the cold morgue on the first basement floor of the mental hospital. Her mother lay in a freezer with her eyes open, surrounded by white mist, the chill penetrating to her very bones.
Jiang Shiyuan cried until her vision blurred. She gripped her mother's calloused hand tightly, trying her best to warm it.
Jiang Buyu, what an unlucky name. You've been trapped by those two words your whole life.
Then, she arrived at the day of her mother's funeral—
At the funeral hall, Lin Chengchou brazenly brought his lover Liu Nianrou and his illegitimate daughter Lin Zhixin to pay their respects.
The moment his mother left, this cold-hearted and hypocritical man couldn't wait to bring a new woman into the house, which would taint his mother's path to reincarnation!
They bullied her because she was a helpless child, and because her mother was a dead person who couldn't speak.
At that moment, Jiang Shiyuan, dressed in mourning clothes, stood frozen to the side, her eyes bloodshot and broken, her lips bitten until they bled.
She watched the family of three leave, smiling, her blood-stained lips trembling, and through tears, she softly sang a southern folk song of parting and death:
"Leave the underworld, exit the gates of hell"
The road to the underworld is shrouded in mist and difficult to traverse.
Wu Jiansong was stranded in the underworld.
I hope you will not suffer.
After visiting the Ten Palaces, may you be reborn in a better realm soon.
First visit the main hall, Wang Qin Guang
Looking up, I saw a Bridge of Helplessness…
Ding-dong—Ding-dong—
In a daze, Jiang Shiyuan was awakened by the continuous ringing of the doorbell.
Wrapped in a fleece blanket, her slender body trembled as she walked to the entrance like a frail old woman.
"Ah Yuan? Ah Yuan, are you home? It's your senior brother!"
Jiang Shiyuan half-closed her swollen, red eyes, slowly pushed open the door, the smile on her pale face seeming as if it would shatter at the slightest touch:
"Senior brother, what brings you here..."
"I wanted to have dinner with you, but I called you more than a dozen times and you didn't answer. I was really worried, so I came to check if you were home. Why didn't you answer the phone?" Ye Yu asked, panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat.
"It's okay, I..."
The next moment, Jiang Shiyuan felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, her legs went weak, and she suddenly collapsed into Ye Yu's firm chest.
"A-Yuan! What's wrong?!" Ye Yu opened his arms and hugged her trembling waist tightly.
His heart skipped a beat; it was so hot!
"You have a fever?!"
Jiang Shiyuan swayed weakly, letting Ye Yu hold her. Tears welled in her long eyelashes as she trembled, seemingly about to fall, delicate and fragile.
Ye Yu felt a pang of heartache and scooped her up in his arms. "Bear with it a little longer, your senior brother will take you to the hospital right away!"
...
Upon arriving at the hospital, Ye Yu used his connections to get Jiang Shiyuan directly into the VIP treatment department, where she was given blood tests and an IV drip as quickly as possible.
"The doctor said you have a fever of 41 degrees Celsius. If you delay until tomorrow, we'll save money on cremation." Ye Yu sighed, his tall and slender figure standing beside Jiang Shiyuan's hospital bed, raising his hand to adjust the IV drip rate for her.
"Senior brother... thank you." Jiang Shiyuan lowered her eyelashes, her face completely pale.
"Silly girl, are you delirious from the fever?"
Ye Yu frowned and chuckled, gently poking her smooth forehead with his fingertip. "What did I tell you? Between us, there's never a need for thanks."
Jiang Shiyuan touched her forehead, a gloomy feeling rising in her heart.
She treated Ye Yu as an older brother, but he wasn't her biological brother after all, so she still felt a little uncomfortable in these interactions.
"Also, the doctor said..."
Ye Yu pursed his lips, his cheeks were a little hot, and his voice was low and hoarse, "Your fainting could be due to the aftereffects of not taking good care of your body after the miscarriage. She told me to wait until you finish your IV drip and then take you to see a gynecologist."
Don't be embarrassed. Just go in by yourself, and I'll wait for you outside.
The fact that the doctor dared to openly tell him these things meant that he had implicitly accepted Jiang Shiyuan as her husband or boyfriend.
Ye Yu's heart trembled slightly, but he pretended to remain calm.
What man secretly in love wouldn't love such a wonderful misunderstanding?
Even without official recognition or recognition, he was secretly pleased.
"Okay, sure." Jiang Shiyuan nodded and obediently agreed.
After she finished her IV drip, Ye Yu accompanied her to the gynecology department.
He watched Jiang Shiyuan go inside, then lingered outside alone, waiting, like a newlywed husband waiting for his beloved wife to have a prenatal checkup.
At the same time, a woman wearing a sexy office lady dress swayed her hips as she walked up the stairs toward the gynecology department.
The moment she saw Ye Yu, she trembled violently and stopped in her tracks.
